THE VELDSKOEN WOODSTOCK BOOT
Woodstock is a wonderful Cape Town suburb, always vibrating with creative energy. Old buildings on the foot of Table Mountain are refurbished and preserved. Where they can’t be saved, graffiti artists decorate the ruins with colourful, vibrant, positive imagery.
Cafes, art galleries, breweries, restaurants, street performers, and car watchers can be seen around every corner. The area is a melting pot of backgrounds, ideas, and cultures. Woodstock is trendy, but tough. Just like these shoes.
Our Woodstock Chelsea boots are made from strong, full-grain, oily, waxy, leather, which softens and darkens as it ages. This leather’s waxy finish initially causes it to scuff easily. If the marks bother you, they polish out easily enough with a clean cloth. However, should you let them settle, you will see that what starts out as marks, become traits of deep and lasting character. This specific leather is proof that some things just get better and better with age!
Great boot, super comfortable.
Slight disappointment that the leather had signs of ‘tearing’ from stretching when making. Something if I had purchased at a store and not online would have been noticed and a request for another pair. However these were purchased online so did not have that opportunity, and had to weigh up the pluses and minuses of returning them.
That being said I am wearing nearly every day and don’t think it will be the last pair I buy of these!
